Lr freezes when toggling masks on and off

[George D Marinos]

Please help! After toggling on and off a mask on the mask panel Lr freezes frequently. I have this problem for several months on Monterey and Sonoma and I update Lr regularly.

A better way to show that system info, and a request:

Please post your System Information as Lightroom Classic (LrC) reports it. In LrC click on Help, then System Info, then Copy. Paste that information into a reply. Please present all information from first line down to and including Plug-in Info. Info after Plug-in info can be cut out as that is just so much dead space to us non-Techs and it takes up vast amounts of scroll space making the reply less readable and less likely that others will bother with your post.

Thank you!        Voila!

Well nothing from the System Info shows up as an issue.

What happens in a new catalog?

[George D Marinos]

Thank you!

It happens in an another cat. too. But I will create a completely new cat. for  testing.

[George D Marinos]

I have created a new catalog including 3 files from the old catalog, via the "export as catalog" command. I have tested extensively without a problem up to now. My next question is what I need to do with my main old catalog where I have all projects of my lab.

[GoldingD]

I have never done this, but I think that in the new catalog you want to import from the old catalog.

see "How do I merge two catalogs or import folders from another catalog?" in:

Lightroom Classic catalog FAQ

[George D Marinos]

I have created a new Lr cat and I have imported all the photos (1028) from the old catalog, via the "import from another catalog" command. I didn't change the place of the files. The problem has been reproduced once until now. The file sizes are between 500Mb and 1 Gb.

[George D Marinos]

The problem persist on other catalogs and other computer too.

[George D Marinos]

Any solution please?!

[GoldingD]

You may want to give a call/chat to Adobe

[George D Marinos]

I am sorry not to be precise, but the problem is gone maybe after a chat with ADOBE or after an update, i am not sure.

Thank you!
